Terrorifier Set to Unleash Gruesome Fear in Video Game Realm
Hey there! Sure, let's dive into some grisly game goodness.
Since 2016, Damien Leone's Terrifier series has grown into an impressive franchise, with a dedicated fanbase fueling its success. Now, with the third movie hitting theaters, fans can't help but wonder about Art the Clown's next escapade. Surprisingly, it's not a fourth film on the horizon, but a retro-style beat-em-up game!
IGN dishes the details. Relevo, developers of Bullfighter Neon, and publisher Selecta Play have teamed up to bring us Terrifier: The ARTcade Game. In this game, players become the sinister killer clown, not too thrilled about movie studios making murderous mayhem a Hollywood sensation. So, he decides to gatecrash movie sets, grab an assortment of lethal weapons, and wreak havoc on unsuspecting victims—policemen, firewomen, camera operators, stunt performers, makeup artists, and even mere civilians.
The game's setup should feel eerily familiar to those who've ventured into other tie-in games like the Scott Pilgrim one for the 2010 movie. Terrifier: The ARTcade Game features a cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players, in addition to the standard single-player and side-scrolling brawler modes. As buddies join in the carnage, they'll take on roles from the franchise, including the Little Pale Girl and Victoria Heyes.
To make things even more gruesome and entertaining, gamers will have the option to unleash brutal finishers on opponents, igniting friendly competition as they vie to outdo one another during couch co-op sessions.
So, if this sounds like your idea of a good time, make a note of it—Terrifier: The ARTcade Game is set to slash its way onto PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.
